12:32 pm
here in visit. is actually being served by the ongoing question well it's a very important. question thank you for that. you know it's not easy now to decide that. what we've struggled for a long time to achieve in syria is within reach nowadays because too many complications happened in the uprising of syria. most of the uprising started peacefully or we can really do pretty boards for freedom and dignity and percy. but. there was a curve the events because the regime decided to treat that was to wish him only by military means us forcing syrians to hold arms to defend themselves at the beginning and then there was a chance really an important chance for extremists and the opposition to enlarge

family must step aside at least for a while. and the power must be passed on to some acceptable personnel from the regime acceptable to the regime and accept the opposition as well. to start with resolution on period in which. some new constitution and some new legality will be established in the country if those transparent elections here in visiting . would result in the current president assad getting the majority of votes would that be acceptable to you and i guess most importantly would that be acceptable acceptable to the world one says. any person accepts the principle of voting and the voting is really need to go at a transparent everyone must accept the results the outcome. of the
12:36 pm
elections you spent fourteen years in prison and definitely your have an ax to grind with their subs family why are you not among those who are carrying arms at this point why no you're not fighting him because first of all being a studying and practicing politics for decades and i came to the conclusion which is the only logical conclusion that arms will lead to the destruction of the country and not to democracy that's why it's harmful way it's useless and it will. support the extremists on both sides that's why from the very beginning it was very clear for me and for others that peaceful struggle is the only way towards a democratic future of the country you know in the western eyes the home grown
12:37 pm
civil of position and armed groups are perceived as allies given what you've just said why haven't you or groups who support you been more vocal in trying to distance themselves from using terror for achieving political goals among the armed opposition you have different political goes on and different political attitudes i believe many groups through the armed opposition declared. they will be. in favor of a political process on certain terms and conditions of course what others will not respond to that we have some cell if it's some that is an islamist will have their own agendas so among the sea real. the spirit.
12:38 pm
there are really connections with some armed. opposition groups. and very common and there's time. i'm one of them not too hard to hear see believe in this not to attack any. infrastructure establishment or it's only. illegal to use arms to defend lives and subiectes now from the very beginning you've been strongly against. international intervention into syria and paris and one can argue that what we have now in syria is a form of government military intervention because you have lower forms going through your borders even you admit that there are some foreign nationals fighting
12:39 pm
the syrian army in the north rich do you think he's more damaging the open libyan style military intervention or covered by its so lasting intervention in the form of supplying arms believe. is. completely imaginary when you are tracked up like in syria it's impossible. to tell the world it's circumstances of the syrian region. circumstances what happened and why you're here to answer it is number two yes day after day the struggle and the fight in syria is. coming some kind of a proxy war now they off today very easy number one and the only group in the opposition. are becoming more and more hostages in the hands of their

allies and they are losing their. independent decision. they cannot apply what they think or believe and because they need support in arms and ammunition and fine until. it's at or etc etc freedom can mean very different things to. many different people and the footage that we often get from the north of the fighters. shouting allahu akbar . there are also reports that they are fighting for the creation of their islamic state. and my question to you is is there any danger that in search for greater political freedoms syria may lose other forms of freedom for example social religious gender freedom and you know all those other aspects of dignity and
12:41 pm
freedom are they simply very frankly yes there is a possibility now and it was not. created just now accommodated through days that the syrians may lose some of the freedoms that they are used to it's a possibility but there are other possibilities of well that's why we say now you cannot preserve your rights by just being afraid of what it you must be active. we believe that the majority of the syrians would not choose any kind or even just state i sometimes get an impression that here in syria the hatred for the opponent within some people is chong the law for their own country and they would rather be right than merciful to people around them how can you in the current circumstances and given your experience how can you foster the spirit of free
12:42 pm
conciliation given how far this situation has gone already among some serious the majority of the syrians among the active syrians now. the majority is not active yet and those can. have us to vote from time to time what on earth is going on how are you doing that yes we are questioning themselves but i believe this is a reaction will come there which will come to an end sooner or later because it's not a real culture or real sort of this here history of the syrian people thank you very much for a time thank you carol. wealthy british style. is not on trial for.
